The rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria is one of the biggest threats to public health worldwide. Traditional antibiotics are becoming increasingly ineffective, leaving doctors and scientists scrambling to find natural, powerful alternatives. And they may just be in the cannabis plant.

At CBD & Herb we follow scientific research closely, especially that of Peter Vermeul , the founder of CBD Spain – the CBD oil we work with and exclusively distribute within Europe. His most recent research presents fascinating results on the antimicrobial power of cannabis extracts.

When you hear the word “skin cancer,” you probably think of surgeries, scars, and stressful hospital stays. But what if there was a natural, plant-based approach — one without scalpels, chemo, or side effects?

At CBD & Herb we share the personal and scientifically substantiated story of Peter Vermeul , founder of CBD Spain and pioneer in the field of full-spectrum cannabis extracts . When he was diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma (the most common form of skin cancer), he didn't choose the usual medical route. He trusted the plant he had been working with for years: Cannabis sativa .

And with success.

Why would you store the raw, acidic form of CBD or THC instead of heating them to their 'active' version?

We all know that cannabis – and specifically its psychoactive compound THC – can temporarily affect memory. But what if the combination of natural compounds in a full-spectrum extract could actually have a supportive or even restorative effect on memory?

That is exactly what Peter Vermeul , founder of CBD Spain and scientific partner of CBD & Herb , recently conducted research into. His findings offer a surprisingly nuanced and hopeful perspective on the relationship between cannabis and cognitive function.

Gerry is a lively two-year-old dachshund. His owners called the practice in a panic. Gerry suddenly had a lot of pain and was dragging his left hind leg. An MRI scan confirmed what was already feared: a large hernia at L3/L4. An operation seemed inevitable.

In our modern society, chronic pain is a widespread problem. Worldwide, hundreds of millions of people suffer from long-term pain complaints, and the number continues to grow. In the Netherlands alone, an estimated 2 million people suffer from chronic pain – often without a clear medical solution available. Doctors are often left empty-handed, especially when it comes to complex and persistent nerve pains such as MS, facet arthrosis or trigeminal neuralgia (facial pain).

Bobby, a lively fluffy male of 7 years old, struggled for years with severe epileptic seizures and digestive problems. Despite heavy medication, there was no improvement.
